About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to issue a sole-source order to Rockwell Automation Inc. for Allen-Bradley programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and networking equipment. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1) and is classified under NAICS 423610 (Electrical Apparatus and Equipment, Wiring Supplies, and Related Equipment Merchant Wholesalers) and PSC 6110 (Electrical Control Equipment). The notice was posted on October 22, 2025, with a deadline of November 4, 2025, for interested parties to respond.
The Corps' justification for sole-source procurement centers on the necessity to maintain the original manufacturer's warranty and licensing for existing Allen-Bradley 5380 controllers currently deployed across seven hydroelectric dam projects. The five-year contract is valued at $1,612,528, with annual costs ranging from $249,293 to $288,999, supporting critical infrastructure operations including power generation and fish facility operations. While this is not a competitive procurement, any vendor believing it possesses equivalent capability and relevant past performance may submit supporting documentation by the November 4, 2025 deadline; such responses will be evaluated and retained for consideration in future acquisitions. The Class Justification and Approval (J&A) document emphasizes that alternative products would introduce unacceptable risks to system reliability due to proprietary software restrictions and intellectual property protections inherent to Allen-Bradley products.
